And her eyes are like skies about to rainBut there's work to be done, and she does not complainHer children are so far awayI heard you crying, I heard you prayingNow you must go, and it's so hard to say

Goodbye, CarmenThank you for staying with us for a while (With your pretty smile)And someday you'll get home againGoodbye, CarmenHasta manana or who knows when (It all depends)Goodbye

We're convinced our intentions are goodBut we live in this world often misunderstoodCan you feel it? (Uh-huh)I can feel itAnd no one seems to care much, and its so hard to say

Goodbye, CarmenThank you for staying with us for a while (With your pretty smile)And someday you'll get home againGoodbye, CarmenHasta manana or who knows when (It all depends)Goodbye

Carmen, careful what you do, be careful what you see, CarmenWe will always be with you

Turn around but she's lost in the sunThere was so much to say, but she's already gone, soThank you Carmen, don't be afraid this is not the end,So rest your head, I hope someday we will meet again.Goodbye, CarmenHasta manana or never again But you're my friend CarmenGoodbye
